Danilo Vicioso

Who I am

  • Former COO of Tabs. I ran the Tabs creator program: 100M+ organic views a month across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, not paid impressions
  • Most videos got a few hundred views and a few broke out, so steady volume was the strategy
17.7M · reel8M · TikTok6.5M · reel

Why Partiful

  • The product is its own hook: an invite that looks like the party, then a guest list that fills
  • Hosts already make ads for you. Of 28 ads I read in the Meta Ad Library for “partiful” (29 Sept), 25 were hosts paying to send people to a partiful.com event page. Only 3 were yours, all started 26 Sept
  • Ticketing launched in June 2026. Hosts selling tickets now need help filling paid events, and creators can show that flow

What I built

Party photos from partiful.com
Photos from partiful.com, the look the creator videos would match.

What I’d do here

  • My KPI: cost per install holds while spend goes up. Everything else follows from that.
  • Ten creators posting daily from their own TikTok and Instagram on hosting hooks: the invite reveal, the guest list filling, the Text Blast from the door.
  • A weekly hook list, checked against one claims sheet. Winners go to your ad team as proven hooks before they get paid spend.
  • A Monday report so you never have to ask: posts, median and best views, cost per 1,000 organic views, keep / watch / replace per creator.
  • #ad on every paid post. Tracking I’d spec and work through with your team. That part isn’t me.

Proposed. Roster is the core variable; video volume follows at 7 videos per creator per week. Creator pay ~$10,000 a month typical, $15,000 max. Day 45 gate: $5 or better per 1,000 organic views, or stop. Day 90: $1–2 per 1,000 with monthly breakouts.

I’d love to chat if this makes sense. Grab a time here.

“No group chat chaos” is Partiful’s own line. The Venmo / Cash App friction is how Shreya Murthy described the ticketing launch (The Ticketing Business, June 2026).

WHO BUILT IT

Two friends from Palantir who wanted better invites

Shreya Murthy (CEO) and Joy Tao (CTO) met at Palantir and built Partiful for the part of hosting nobody likes: getting people there. A $20M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz followed, then Google’s Best App of 2024 and TIME100 Most Influential Companies in 2025.

Sources: NBC New York, Fortune (May 2023), TechCrunch (Nov 2024), Wikipedia. Read 29 Sept 2026.

Concepts only, not live ads. Partiful’s own page had 3 ads in the Meta Ad Library, all started 26 Sept 2026 (read 29 Sept). Every claim is as Partiful states it on partiful.com or the App Store; check against your claims sheet before launch. Meme templates are third-party: clear rights before running as paid.

GROWTH PLAN · PARTIFUL

More hosts. More parties. Same cost per install.

One number to protect, four ways it breaks, three moves. Built from outside research only: partiful.com, the App Store and the Meta Ad Library, read 29 Sept 2026. Every plan number is labelled proposed.

A loved free product, a new paid one, and almost no paid creative of its own.

04 · THE ONE NUMBER

Cost per install, held flat while spend goes up.

Everything below serves that line. When spend doubles, cost per install usually climbs because the same few ads wear out. The fix is more winning creative, found cheaply in organic before it gets paid money. Target proposed: organic cost of $1–2 per 1,000 views by day 90, winners handed to paid at a known hook rate.

06 · MOVE 1

The organic roster finds the hooks. Paid only buys winners.

Partiful’s own ads are 3 days old, so there is no run-length proof yet on its own creative. Ten small creators posting daily test ~300 hooks a month (proposed) for ~$10K. Anything that clears 100K organic views goes to the ad team as a Spark / partnership ad.

07 · MOVE 2

Hosts already advertise Partiful. Turn that into a format.

25 of 28 ads read were hosts paying to send people to a partiful.com page. The longest-running ones:

HostStartedDays runningWhat it is
{{ h.a }}{{ h.s }}{{ h.d }}{{ h.n }}
08 · MOVE 3

Sell ticketing to the hosts who already charge.

Ticketing launched in June 2026 and is Partiful’s first major paid product. Advocacy For H-E-R (22 days) and Cornerstone Plastic Surgery (19 days) already run “Buy tickets” ads to Partiful pages. Creators show the host side: tiers, promo codes, QR check-in, payouts. Fee: not found publicly, so no fee claim runs.

Halloween event pages
09 · THE CALENDAR IS THE BRIEF

Halloween, Friendsgiving, holiday parties, NYE.

Partiful’s one live single-version ad is Halloween in NYC. Each season gets its own hook set 3 weeks ahead (proposed): Halloween by Oct 10, Friendsgiving by Nov 1, holiday parties by Nov 20, NYE by Dec 10.

10 · HOW A HOOK EARNS PAID MONEY

Three gates, written before spend. Proposed.

Halloween poster with a hand

GATE 1 · ORGANIC100K viewson one creator post, or 3 of 10 accounts beating their median by 5×
GATE 2 · PAID TEST$300 per hook3 days at $100/day. Keep if hook rate (3-second views) beats 30% and cost per install is within 20% of your current best
GATE 3 · SCALE+20% a weekbudget steps while cost per install holds; cut the step if it rises 15%+
11 · THE SPEND PLAN

Where the first 90 days of money go. Proposed.

Month 1Month 2Month 3
{{ r.l }}{{ r.a }}{{ r.b }}{{ r.c }}

Creator line from the creator engine: ~$10K typical, $15K max a month. Paid tests only fund hooks that cleared Gate 1. Your current paid budget is yours to fill on day one.

12 · THE CEILING

Five assumed lines, labelled as assumed.

Two friends laughing at a party
Two friends laughing at a party
{{ f.k }}{{ f.v }}{{ f.n }}

At these assumptions, $10 per 1,000 impressions × 1% click-through × 30% install rate = $3.33 per install. Each host invite then reaches guests who see Partiful without paying for it; that viral loop is what paid can’t buy and what the organic roster feeds. Replace every line with your numbers in week 1.

CPM $15 → $5.00 per install
CPM $8 → $2.67 per install
Click-through 1.5% → $2.22 per install
Install rate 40% → $2.50 per install

Where the next $100K goes: at $3.33 per install that’s ~30K installs. Holding that price as spend rises is the whole job. All assumed, proposed.

13 · WHAT GETS MEASURED

Six events, specced with your team.

16 · WHAT THIS COVERS

In scope

  • Creator roster, briefs, claims sheet, #ad on every paid post
  • Hook library and weekly winners to paid
  • Monday report and the three gates
AND WHAT IT DOESN’T

Risks, named

  • Several shortlist accounts may already be Partiful ambassadors: checked at vetting
  • Only 28 of ~180 ads were read; the rest may change the picture
  • No ticketing fee claims until the fee is confirmed

Week one is where it starts.

Claims sheet, disclosure rules, outreach to the first ten creators, test briefs. Five creators live in week two, about $3K in retainers that month (proposed).

I have built this engine before

As COO of Tabs I ran the creator program: 100M+ organic views a month across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, not paid impressions. Most videos got a few hundred views; a few broke out.

What makes a creator program perform

7 / weekVolume beats polish. Breakouts are a numbers game.
Under 5KSmall accounts, cheap retainers, and the algorithm still tests every post.

One sheetEvery claim comes off one approved sheet. #ad on every paid post.
07

What a roster actually ships

Partiful sells something you can show in ten seconds: an invite made in one tap, then the guest list filling up.

Invite template
HOOK A · THE INVITE IN ONE TAP“Made this invite in one minute.”Screen recording: theme, font, effect, send the link. Claims: free, no paywalls, guests don’t need the app.
RSVP notification
HOOK B · THE GUEST LIST“Who’s actually coming?”Screen recording: guest list, comments and reactions, then a Text Blast. Claims: see who’s going, Text Blasts.

Partiful’s own ads today (started 26 Sept): phone-shot, talking to camera, “Send invites for anything.” The roster makes 70 of these a week.

08

Eight videos we’d remake

Partiful’s own ads are 3 days old, so these are real host ads sending people to Partiful pages: the behavior we’d recruit creators to copy. Days running as of 29 Sept. Rows 7–8 are early signal.

One bonus per creator per month, per video not cumulative, organic views only, none on a claims-sheet violation. Proposed.

15

Will it pay back?

Target: $1 per 1,000 organic views. Move the inputs; they start at the illustrative case (not Partiful data): 10 creators × $1,000 = $10K a month, 300 videos. 90% near a 2K median (540K views), 8% break out (1.4M), 2% go viral (3M). ~5M views: $2.00 per 1,000, plus ~$300 in bonuses. Not at target yet.

What I learned running these programs

  • Most videos get a few hundred views. Plan for that and the breakouts pay for the rest.
  • Kill rules set on day one get followed. Kill rules set on day 60 get argued.
  • The best paid ads came from organic posts nobody expected to win.
